Philippines is the most beautiful country in the world, lots of touristic islands with crystal beaches, with friendly people, delicious foods and tropical drinks, peaceful environment and English speaking citizens. GOD BLESS all Filipinos
You got that right👌🏽Highly underrated country. Philippines is complete 🙌🏼 God bless Filipinos. ❤️❤️
Yes that's true tnx for giving the comments that you really appreciate the Philippines
Thank you Lord and thank you ❤
Thank you 🤍🙏
@@jackieInPhilippinesThank you🤍🙏
They actually close that stretch of Fifth Avenue every weekend so people can enjoy and hangout! They have car-free weekends in that part of BGC to allow people to freely stroll, dine, and play at the "My Street High Street" on Fifth Avenue. Next time, you may also wanna check out the Sky Park and Sky Garden at the roof deck of SM Aura.
A genius idea. I’ve heard so much about the rooftop of SM Aura. I’ll make time to go there. Expect the video 😊❤️❤️
Just came.upon your vlog. Thank you for the footages ❤..always carry a folding umbrella 😀 weather changes instantly, lucky if only a drizzle but at times it is sudden downpour. I do not know when you filmed your footage, I know there is a supertyphoon to the North right now so that is pushing the rains all over Luzon. Get used to the typhoons, often times now they quickly escalate to super typhoon level, usually they manifest more towards September to November. It was funny growing up there a long time ago, I can never have a typhoon free birthday since it is in October. At least you are safely in the BGC area, much sturdier structures..pay attention to the weather, it can easily have flash floods outside the BGC area during heavy rain periods and it will be next to impossible to get a good ride home.
My last visit there was in July 2016..at that time my favorite place to visit is the Sky Park at SM Aura. Though SM Aura is much smaller then the other SM Malls, I like it..does not get too overcrowded.
You are luckier now, much more shopping establishments to venture into. Personally, I am not into branded items...so I have more fun inside Market Market 😀 prices are much friendlier to my pocketbook. Landmark and SM dept stores are okay too, at least in the aspect of having a good fitting room when you want to try on the clothes. As you would know later on, at times the Asian size of our clothes there is not similar to the American size. Sometimes small is more like extra small..and large is still like petite medium size etc.
I am happy to hear you guys learning our language. It will open up much more doors to you guys. Do remember to add 'po' at the end of a question, that shows respect especially if you are talking to someone older..but it also is used to show respect to any third party..just a sort of honorific respect. And when you say thank you..always good to add 'po' at the end..or say Salamat po. Even in the daily greetings like saying Good Morning...spoke in English or in Tagalog 'Magandang Umaga'..always add 'po'. The locals will easily sense your respect to them so they will accord you the same. Enjoy your stay there ❤
BGC is not a city, just a CBD (Central Business District) Metro Manila is composed of 32+ CBDs inside of 16 cities. so there's a lot more to explore in Metro Manila
Okay 👍🏼
Yes, also SM City is not a city, it's only a Mall. What else ? We are both emphasizing for this, why are they naming or calling city for these. Also the Vatican City which is inside the City of Rome in Italy. Why why why ?
Beautiful place❤️🇵🇭
It really is! ❤️❤️
What a beautiful city, I love what I see❤
😍😍😍
Glad to know u both r enjoying ur life here in the Philippines. new sub here❤
Salamat po! 🙏🏻❤️ Yes we are. Philippines has welcomed us with open arms ❤️❤️❤️
WARM WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME PHILIPPINES JACKIE AND HUSBAND. IT'S INDEED, A NICE AND FRIENDLY COUNTRY IN THE PHILIPPINES. MIGHT AS WELL LEARN HOW TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE TAGALOG BUT MAJORITY IN THE PHILIPPINES SPEAKS ENGLISH WELL. 🥳🥳
Salamat po 🙏🏻❤️ We love it here in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Welcome to Philippines 🇵🇭 😊
Salamat po! 🙏🏻❤️ I appreciate it.
Trivia! about The Fort or B.G.C as a whole..we call it ''The Fort' because it is where The Fort Bonifacio is located..where some of the arm forces base and train..but because of lack of funds to Modernize the arm forces, the government came up with the idea together with the B.C.D.A. Bases Conversion Development Authority..to transform former military bases and properties into premier centers of economic growth in partnership with private sector..and to their suprised! it is so successful that with in a decade it is already a complete modern and sustainable global city.. well because of I.T B.P.O.Finance ect.. that they wanted to emulate it fast hence The New Manila land reclamation,Clark City, I.T Park of Cebu city and many more! just like The Eko Atlantic City of your country Nigeria..soon B.G.C will have a Manila Subway Metro station too..
Thanks for the information 👍🏼❤️
Very aesthetically superior and advanced city
Lol...There you go again with your sugarcoating crap. It's not a superior nor an advanced city, it's just a business district. Still believing in this delusion🤣🤣🤣
bro its cbd not city
Yeah
HOPE TO MEET YOU IN BGC ONE DAY😊❤
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSE OUR CITY
GOD BLESS
That will be so nice. 👍🏼🤩
1:51 That cool building is W City. I used to work there. Now, it's Google Philippines headquarters.
I miss BGC vibes!
Oh wow. Thanks for the info. I absolutely love the building.
Indeed, that place is an area of global citizens. Many people in there that look like Filipino but if you talk to them, they aren't but Asian people like Singaporeans, Indonesians, Malaysians, Vietnamese, Thai, Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese, and of course South Koreans.
That’s why it’s called “global city” and that’s the way BGC is meant for.
The concept of a global city is the first of its kind in Asia ☝️
In other words, it's already a place/area in Metro Manila having a multinational/cosmopolitan community😊😊😊
Global City, including foreign embassies and the PSE and foreign countries, invested in the Philippines
I had not seen BGC as a whole thru ur video here the greens & the scenery is so beautiful.. the last time I had been there was 2017 but not yet fully developed. It was Eastwood city that was popular place to visit at that time and it’s amazing place too butBGC today is something else to see.. Chicago is also nice but not much compared this place…I bought already a ticket for a vacation there this December. It would my exciting vacation to be home there again my last as a senior…
Immerse in the cultural aspect is another way to know the country, Visayas region will welcome you for more adventures and fun, it is were nature and people meet plus foods
That blocked area of BGC is the same spot where New Year's eve countdown is being held always every single yr.
Wow. Can’t wait. I hear Christmas starts from September here. And Christmas is my absolute favorite season of the year 💃🏾
@@jackieInPhilippines Yes, they will put lots of decorations on every street in the Philippines (mostly).
...I enjoyed watching your video...very entertaining, excellent...have fun and enjoy your stay in the Philippines...God Bless...
Thanks so much! 😊 I appreciate it.
Missed this place been working there before. Watching from US
Salamat po. I appreciate it. ❤️ You should visit sometime.
Beautiful city,greenery and clean
It really is! The greenery blows my mind.
Beautiful. I think the fort used to be a bar before, but not sure now. Thank you for appreciating the beauty of BGC and the PH. Enjoy your stay, keep safe and God bless you both!
Glad you enjoyed it thank you so much 😊
Nope, the fort BGC is a former military camp
@@arpogitv4955 BGC in general is a former military base, but I think she was referring to the building at 19:50. Watch.
Looks like florida
Nice! ❤️
Gorgeous city!
It really is!
I hopemore expansion of more unique and tall skycrapers and not will be the end of bgc expansion
Sure. More construction is going on.
Just subscribers your channel watching here from korea 🇰🇷 Philippines 🇰🇷 🇵🇭 ❤️
I appreciate it. Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
Please try to visit the "American Cemetery and Memorial" where thousands of young American soldiers and 700 Filipinos died in battle in the second world war. It's a solemn and very peaceful place. I believe it's only open 'til 5pm, thanks.
May momo
🖐i subscribed!!! hello there! Watching from Doha Qatar... ❤

Salamat po! 😁😁 Thank you. I appreciate it 🙏🏻❤️
BGC is much more beautiful city can be contested to other cities of the world
True.
Don't compare the Philippines to your country the gap is deffirent because your country is very poor.
HOPE YOU DO WILL ENJOY TOO HAVING A SPORTY WALKING IN BGC TOO IN MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON LIKE MY FOREIGN BOSS DO TOO.👍👍
Yes sure
You are in the best, safe, good vibes area in the Philippines. I have several properties/condos there coz it is the best area, no comparison to any othet area in Manila even Makati....Bgc it is......property value keep increasing.
Bgc is the place....where I would not get tired.......enjoy your residency there...
So true! Thanks 🙏🏻
BGC, at the moment, is a town...it will be a proper city before long, just like Makati. BGC is growing fast, more so than Alabang, that first developed it into another Makati.
I see. I really like Alabang. I’ve passed by there a couple of times.
They have some nice coffee shops there an s hopping is great!
@@jackieInPhilippines
Yes....that is the Fort... but it's old school now....people hang out at night in Burgos Circle or Uptown parade area.
Nice 👍🏼
Go to uptown parade mall
Will sure do. I’ve passed by there and it looks super vibrant
It is. The Fort in BGC is one place to hangout at night time w friends for some social drinking.
Nice. We’ll go there.
New subscriber ❤
Salamat po. I appreciate it. ❤️
Cool
Salamat po. I appreciate it. ❤️
I just go there to work there, dine and shop but i dont live there just like most of filipinos. Only rich can afford to buy condominiums in that area.

VISIT ORTIGAS MEGAMALL AND SHANGRILA MALL AND PODIUM MALL, EASTWOOD QUEZON CITY CUBAO QUEZON CITY, ALAYALA ALABANG
Sure will. Thanks for the recommendations 👍🏼🙏🏻
Jackie be careful Filipina agent dont trust dont pay 6 mouth Advance and 2 months deposit, never go to Filipina agent, if you leave dont leave hard to get deposit, better go to QUEZON CITY OR ORTIGAS PASIG
Thanks for the tip.
@@jackieInPhilippines Just buy your own condo, I hear from another foreign vlogger that you can also rent-to-own now in BGC. You should try watching Make It Happen older videos from a year ago, they talk about it in their vlog on how to buy a condo in the PI as a foreigner.
Have you been to the hidden bar inside 7/11 store already? If not, you should check it out, it's on 25th and 26th Street, inside the 7/11 store. Lots of great drinks, spirits, and cocktails!
No, I’ve not. I didn’t know about it. I’ll sure check it out 😃
welcome and its more fun in the Philippines, enjoy
Yay! Salamat po 🙏🏻❤️
